唇枪舌吻,雄辩主协,下面请正方立论。
正方一辩:主席评委大家好,我方认为,男同地位更高。
首先自古以来,男人不容易成功(攻),还更容易成受,生活的压力。
遥想当年,刘关张桃园三结义,是承受了多大的压力,才结义成兄弟。
鸳鸯相爆何时了,落红知多少。
第二,我们神圣的曾轶可,李宇春,本都是黄花大闺女,自从成了男人,红遍了大江东去。
女人要成名,不变形就要整形。
让我们再来看看我们师院,女生要找个好男人,简直是难上加难。
风萧萧兮易水寒,人生难觅是直男呐。
女主持:不错,喜欢的人不出现,出现的人不喜欢,好不容易碰上个喜欢的,又被男人抢走了,而师院男要想找个漂亮的女朋友简直是易入反哺。
下面请反方立论。
反方一辩:大家好,我方认为女人地位高。
历史潮流,浩浩荡荡!多少风流人物上演过冲冠一怒为红颜的蠢事,是女人改变了历史,是女人创造了价值。
自古红颜多水货,霍霍霍霍霍霍,货比货不识货。
其次,一首歌考证,上帝都是女人,如果没有上帝,哪来的亚当和斯密呢。
再看今天,三八妇女节的时候,女人还放半天产假。
可见还是女人有特权啊。

哎,被男生追,真累。
跟男生谈恋爱,崩溃。
恋爱,厕所都堵了,我再也不相信爱情了。
正方三辩:唉呀妈呀,咋这么说话呢,难道因为厕所堵了就委屈自己吗,对方一辩,你说是不是,嚎。
正方二辩:男人地位高,因为男人都是摇钱树啊。
反方二辩:男人再有钱,不也得给女人花吗。
是不是啊。
一个男人有了钱,他就可以给女人买车子,房子,孩子。
正方三辩:唉呀妈呀,那就能说明女人地位高了吗
反方三辩:所以说,婚姻对于女人来说,可以说是找到了一个依靠。
可是对于男人来说,婚姻就是爱情的坟墓。
正方二辩:婚姻是爱情的坟墓,可是没有婚姻的爱情将死无葬身之地。
反方一辩:真的吗,曾经有个女孩愿意为我而死,我也愿意和她一起死
反方三辩:师哥,你说真的吗
正方二辩:在我们师院男生资源稀缺,你说地位能不高吗
反方二辩:师院怎么能没有男人,师院不仅有男人,师院还有男人的男人。
(两个男生走场)女主持:让我们衷心的祝福他们,继续。
反方三辩:让我们来看看根吧,世界上是先有男人还是先有女人正方三辩:唉呀妈呀,咋就这么笨呢,当然是先有男人了,没听过吗,上帝先创造了亚当,采用亚当的肋骨创造了斯密啊。
(二辩打断:夏娃
)对,夏娃思密达。
正方一辩:对方辩友不要忘了,6500年前,统治世界的事母系氏族啊。
正方二辩:身先士卒身先死,别忘了母系氏族到最后也灭亡了嘛。
反方一辩:对方辩友常识不清啊,随着生产力的发展,狩猎活动在生产生活中所占比例越来越大,人兽便开始分裂。
女主持:哦,又到了一个交配的季节,简直太有爱了,让我们祝福有爱的人们。
反方三辩:对方辩友,在社会主义,我们倡导的是按劳分配,多劳多得,选种交配。
女人创造的多,所以女人更高贵。
偶也~偶也~ 正方一辩:对方辩友,女人创造人类,但是没有男人全部白费啊。
反方二辩:对方辩友,难道你们没听说过什么是有丝分裂吗
女主持:哦,一点没错我的宝贝,正是因为这么多神兽出现,才让世界更加完美。
反方一辩:对方辩友,在恋爱的问题上,我们认为其实师院男是更倒霉催的。
我要找的是女朋友啊,女朋友还没找到就被男人盯上了。
对方还有对方三遍这样的(屏蔽、屏蔽)。
你看我,2岁看新闻联播,7岁读人明日报,13岁看蓝猫。
而今时运不及,命运多舛,冯唐易老,主席难疯啊,再说。
。
。
(主持人打断)女主持:下面进入总结陈词。
正方三辩:谢谢评委,经过了整场的辩论吧,我忽然明白了一个问题。
以前吧,我以为男人和女人是一样一样的,嚎。
可是后来呢,上帝创造了亚当和夏娃。
我才明白了,在男人身上永远比女人多一样东西,那就是权利呗。
就是因为这些个权利,才让我们的女人更加的(猥琐)欲为。
你们看运动场上,那些男同成双入对,而那些女孩子们却勾肩搭背。
这样的激情,你们忍受的了吗
反方二辩:对方辩友,谁说我们男人不能激情啦。
。
。
(表演:江南STYLE)女主持:你们今天的表现真是棒极了,我忠诚地为你们感到骄傲,好了,又到了揭晓结果的时刻了,本场比赛的获胜方就是正方,和反方。

串词很简单的,因为作为主席(就是你说的主持人)主要的任务是场上的规则监督和程序引导,调节气氛是很次要的任务。
而且从环节和规则上来说你们的比赛是比较粗糙的,那么你的监督任务更重。
那第一个环节你可以这样来,“看到辩题之后相信大家和我一样感到迷茫,那么不如让我们分别来听听双方辩手都有什么说法,现在进入我们的XX环节,规则如下……首先由反慷一辩开始发言,记时开始(如果有时间限制的话)”自由辩论不是自由站起来说就可以了,任何情况下都有这个规则,双方交替发言,每次发言由一个人完成,任何一方不得连续发言(就是说,比如正方一个辩手说了以后就到反方一个辩手发言,而不能再由正方其他辩手发言),除非一方总发言时间结束,而另一方还有时间,时间没用完的可以继续自由发言知道时间结束。
这个环节双方分别记时,要用到秒表的,一方时间剩余30秒的时候要提醒一次,然后时间结束时要制止继续发言,一般说“谢谢,时间到\\\/时间到,谢谢正(反)放发言”自由辩论开始的时候先介绍规则,然后一般可以说:“在听完双方辩手的看法以后,就来到了最最紧张激烈的自由辩论了,让我们大家一起进入自由辩论环节,下面由正(方)方开始发言”“那么听完了自由辩论以后,我想在场的观众们也和我一样有了自己的想法,现在就让我们听听大家的意见”然后开始选择发言观众和回答的辩手(观众)(很不明白你们的规则……)“下面请评委退席评议”“……”(不明白评委走了还辩什么,怎么辩,所以不知道说什么……)“现在我们的评委已经对比赛结果做出了评判,首先有请本场比赛的点评嘉宾XX为本场比赛做点评”……“让我们再次感谢点评嘉宾XX对我们做出的精彩点评,现在比赛结果已经在我的手中的,本场比赛的最佳辩手是……XX~恭喜你~然后我们要宣布的是本场比赛的双方成绩(如果有分数的话,没有就直接宣布胜方)”“在这里我们再次感谢各位尊敬评委们的到场,感谢双方辩手为我们带来的精彩比赛,感谢我们的点评佳宾的精彩点评,现在我宣布今天的XXX辩论赛到此结束,让我们欢送评委和嘉宾(有的话)退场”大概就这样啦,没什么特别要注意的,就是监督好明显的犯规情况,主要是时间和顺序上的。

大家好,欢迎来到*****辩论大赛的现场,非常感谢大家的踊跃参与和热情的支持。
大家都知道,钓鱼岛自古以来就是中国神圣不可分割的一部分。
关于她的详细的历史沿革我们的官方和历史资料都有明确的叙述和解释。
然而最近日本地方和中央政府在日本右翼势力的错误举动中未能有效的处理钓鱼岛时间带来的影响。
尤其是日本官方正式的公布将钓鱼岛国有化,严重的侵犯了我过的主权。
此举给全体中国人民造成了很大的伤害。
各地的抗日游行活动高涨起来,然而在抗议活动的过程中发生了部分国人打砸日货的行为。
这就是我们今天在这里进行辩论的题目,(中国人打咂自己同胞的日货是爱国行为吗

关于英语辩论赛主持人的台词
Sex, Love and Character: A Message to Young Peopleby Thomas Lickona, Ph.D.Chastity is the strength that helps us use our sexuality according to God's plan.The New Corinthians Curriculum As a psychologist specializing in character development, I am often asked to speak to young people about sex. I usually begin by saying: All of you belong to one of four groups: (1) You have never had sexual intercourse, and you do not intend to do so until you get married; (2) You haven't had a sexual relationship, but you're not sure what you think about sex before marriage; (3) You've had a premarital sexual relationship, and you don't see anything wrong with it; (4) You've had a premarital sexual relationship, but you now consider it a mistake—or you're not sure what you want to do in the future. Whichever group you belong to, I'd like to offer you a way of thinking about sex—a way I believe will help you make good sexual decisions, ones that will help you build a good character and lead a good and happy life.I then address a number of questions that young people often have about sex. Isn't Everybody Doing It?In fact, about half of high-school-age teens are virgins. Furthermore, the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth found a drop in adolescent sexual activity for both males and females, ages 15 to 19, for the first time since the survey began in 1970. Fifty percent of the girls in this age group now report that they are virgins; so do 45% of the boys. According to a number of studies, students who get good grades, who have goals for the future, who abstain from drugs and alcohol, and who often attend religious services are all significantly less likely to have had sex than students who do not possess these qualities. So if you're a virgin, you're in good company. Isn't Sex a Way to Express Love?The way to answer this question is to ask: What does it mean to love another person? Love means wanting what is best for the other person, seeking the greatest good for that person. How do you know when somebody really loves you? When he or she wants what is truly best for your welfare, your happiness—now and in the future. Measured against this standard, is having sex without being married truly an act of love? Think about the harmful consequences that can come from sex between unmarried persons. Consider these lines from the pamphlet Love Waits: Love is patient, love is kind. Love wants what is best for another person. Love never demands something that will harm you or the person you love. Love will never cross the line between what's right and wrong. It's wrong to put one another in danger of having to deal with hard choices. … choices that could change your lives, your goals, and your plans forever. Having sex before marriage may feel right for the moment. But the possible costs of an unexpected pregnancy, abortion, and sexually transmitted disease—as well as the deep hurts that can come from a broken relationship—outweigh the feelings of the moment. The feelings are temporary; their consequences are long-lasting. All good things are worth waiting for. Waiting until marriage to have sex is a mature decision to control your desires. If you are getting to know someone—or are in a relationship—remember: If it's love, love waits.What if You Use Protection? There are two ways to respond to this question. One is to explain why contraception goes against God's plan for sex, even in marriage. God designs sex for two purposes: to be love-giving and life-giving. Sex is for deepening love between a husband and wife and for the procreation of children. God intended for these two purposes to be inseparable. That's why He places sex within marriage; it's the only relationship where a man and woman can give themselves to each other totally and can responsibly conceive and raise a child. This is an awesome and sacred privilege—being able to cooperate with God in the creation of his own children, whom he desires to live eternally in his company. Contraception is contrary to God's plan because it artificially separates sexual love from its God-given power to create new life. By contrast, Natural Family Planning (NFP) involves abstaining from sex during the few days each month when a woman can get pregnant. NFP is not only highly effective (98%) but it's all-natural sex; it doesn't place artificial barriers (devices or drugs) between a husband and wife, or between their lovemaking and God's will. There's a second way to respond to the question about protection, and that's to ask: Does contraception really make unmarried sex safe, as is so commonly claimed? No matter what type of contraception is used, a girl can still get pregnant. It happens—and then there is a developing life to deal with. Among adult users, according to studies published in Family Planning Perspectives, condoms have an average annual failure rate of 15% in preventing pregnancy. What about AIDS? Dr. Susan Weller at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, in an analysis of 11 different studies, found that condoms on the average failed 31% of the time to prevent transmission of AIDS virus (Social Science and Medicine, June 1993). Medical studies show that condoms provide even less protection (zero to some) against what are now the three most common STDs. Human papilloma virus (HPV), which is the cause of virtually all cervical cancer, can infect anywhere in the male or female genital region and may be spread by skin-to-skin contact during sex. Chlamydia which, undetected, can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and scarring of the fallopian tubes, is the fastest growing cause of infertility and may be transmitted by skin contact outside the area covered by the condom. Herpes, which causes genital sores, cannot be cured, and, like HPV and chlamydia, can be transmitted by skin-to-skin contact in the entire genital area. No Condom for the HeartWhat about the mental, emotional, and spiritual consequences of temporary sexual relationships? Sex involves our full person, our whole self. There is no condom for the heart, mind, or soul. Here is a teenage girl speaking of her experience: I am 16 and have already lost my virginity. I truly regret that my first time was with a guy that I didn't care that much about. Since that first night, he expects sex on every date. When I don't feel like it, we end up in an argument. I don't think this guy is in love with me, and I know deep down that I am not in love with him either. This makes me feel cheap. I realize now that this is a very big step in a girl's life. After you've done it, things are never the same. It changes everything. My advice is, don't be in such a rush. It's a headache and a worry. Sex is not for entertainment. It should be a commitment. Be smart and save yourself for someone you wouldn't mind spending the rest of your life with. The psychological and spiritual repercussions of sex outside marriage are many and varied. They include: (1) Regret and self-recrimination; (2) worry about becoming pregnant or getting an STD; (3) the emotional turmoil associated with an unexpected pregnancy, the stress of premature parenthood or the self-sacrifice of adoption, or the trauma and aftermath of abortion; (4) guilt; (5) feelings of being used; (5) self-contempt for being a user; (6) the lowered self-esteem that accompanies finding out you have a sexually transmitted disease; (7) fear of commitment because of having been burned; (8) rage over betrayal, sometimes leading to violence; (9) depression, sometimes leading to suicide; (10) ruined relationships (because sex often comes to dominate a relationship); (11) stunted personal growth (because premature sex can hinder your identity development); (12) the marital stress that comes from infertility caused by an STD; and (13) the separation from God that serious sin, until repented, always causes. You don't see these consequences of sex outside marriage depicted on TV or in the movies. You don't read about them in Seventeen or Sassy. But they are very real. Over the years, I have collected the personal stories of people who have experienced these unhappy consequences. A college guy says, I finally got a girl into bed when I was 17. Then she started saying she loved me and getting clingy. After four weeks of having sex as often as I wanted, I was tired of her and dumped her. That made me feel pretty low, because I could see that she was hurting. Another college male talks about his loss of self-control: I had always heard that having sex was a way to get rid of sexual tension, but having sex just increased my desire. It was like a drug. I couldn't stop myself, yet at the same time, I wasn't satisfied at all. A 33-year-old wife says, Sometime during my wild college days, I picked up an infection that damaged the inside of my fallopian tubes and left me infertile. I am now married to a wonderful man who very much wants children, and the guilt I feel is overwhelming. We will look into adoption, but this whole ordeal has been terribly difficult. In short, contraceptive devices don't make sex physically safe (you can still get pregnant or sick), emotionally safe (you can still get hurt), or ethically loving (you can't claim to love someone if you're gambling with that person's health, life, and future happiness). What if You are Engaged?What if you're planning to get married—isn't sex okay then? One way to answer this question is to ask: What is the intrinsic meaning of sexual intercourse? When you have sexual intercourse with someone, you are being as physically intimate as it is possible to be with another human being. When you're married, this kind of intimacy is part of a total commitment. You join your bodies because you've joined your lives. The ultimate intimacy belongs within the ultimate commitment. Pope John Paul II points out that bodily actions, just like words, have meanings. In body language, sex says to the other person, I give myself to you completely. Within the marriage commitment, that's really true. However, sex before marriage is like saying, I give myself to you completely, but not really. It's a form of lying with your body. You aren't completely committed yet. About half the people who get married have been engaged at least once before. Premarital sex can also fool you into marrying the wrong person. Seven different studies, cited in David Myers' book The Pursuit of Happiness, find that couples who lived together before their marriage are significantly more likely to divorce than couples who did not live together. For example, a Canadian study of more than 5,000 women found that those who lived together with their future spouses were 54% more likely to divorce. How Far is Too Far?A high school counselor offers this wise advice: If you don't want to drive over a cliff, don't pull up to the edge and race the engine. George Eager, in his book Love, Dating and Sex (1989), says you're going too far when: either a guy's or a girl's hands start roaming either of you starts to remove clothing you are doing something you would not want to be doing around someone you really respect you are arousing genital feelings you are arousing feelings that reduce your ability to make and carry out an intelligent decision. Saving sex for marriage, as chastity educator Mary Beth Bonacci points out, means saving all of it for marriage. All forms of sexual intimacy are the language of marriage. Secondary VirginityWhat if you haven't saved sex for marriage? Start saving it, says Molly Kelly, a chastity educator. Remember, chastity is a moral decision and a spiritual state, not a physical condition. If you've made mistakes in the past, you can forgive yourself, seek God's forgiveness, and, with His help, make a fresh start. Some people call this choosing secondary virginity. A great many young people have made this choice. In her book The Power of Abstinence (1996), medical writer Kristine Napier sums up the benefits of saving sex for marriage: Waiting will make your dating relationships better. You'll spend more time getting to know each other. Waiting will help you find the right mate (someone who values you for the person you are). Waiting will increase your self-respect. Waiting will gain the respect of others. Waiting teaches you to respect others; you'll never pressure anyone. Waiting takes the pressure off you. Waiting means a clear conscience (no guilt) and peace of mind (no conflicts, no regrets). Waiting means a better sexual relationship in marriage (free of comparisons with other premarital partners and based on trust). By waiting, you're being faithful to your spouse even before you meet him or her.Dr. Janet Smith, a Catholic writer and philosophy professor at the University of Dallas, adds still another reason for saving sex for marriage: By practicing the virtues involved in waiting—such as faithfulness, self-control, modesty, good judgment, courage, and genuine respect for self and others—you're developing the kind of character that will make you a good marriage partner and attract the kind of person you'd like to marry. What About Homosexuality?Given the media's intense discussion of homosexuality, young people today naturally ask, What makes a person ‘gay'? And why shouldn't gay people be able to have sex, like everybody else? If we do not address this issue in a direct and understandable way, we risk undermining young people's confidence in Catholic teaching about sexual morality in general. According to several recent studies, about 1% of men and about 1% of women say they are exclusively homosexual in their sexual behavior. There is no scientific agreement about what leads a person to be attracted to the same sex. A study of identical twins in a 1992 issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry found that if one twin was homosexual, the second twin was just as likely to be heterosexual as homosexual. The researchers concluded: Genetic factors are an insufficient explanation for the development of sexual orientation. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (1994) affirms the intrinsic dignity of homosexual persons but it does not affirm homosexual sex. It states that homosexual persons, just like unmarried heterosexual persons, are called to live chastely with the help of God's grace. They may enjoy friendship and all other forms of human intimacy but not sexual intimacy. This teaching is supported by the Old and New Testaments, both of which present homosexual sex as being against God's law. Jesus names fornication—sex outside marriage—as a serious sin for all (Mark 7:21). When Jesus speaks of marriage, he describes it exclusively in heterosexual terms, stating that the Creator made us male and female and that a man shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh (Mt 19:4-6). Only in heterosexual marriage can God's two purposes for marriage—the complementary love of husband and wife and the procreation of children—be fulfilled. Sex, the Pope reminds us, is the beautiful gift of a good God. But if we wish to be happy with God in this life and the next, we must use His gift as He intends. Realizing this is the first step in successfully leading a chaste life. Other vital steps: practice modesty in speech, dress, and actions; delay and minimize single dating, date only people who share your values, and avoid sexual temptation, such as time alone with nothing to do; avoid sexual stimuli (as in many R-rated movies); limit your physical affection to light hugs and kisses; take advantage of God's forgiveness and strengthening grace in the Sacrament of Reconciliation; and develop the habit of daily prayer (at least five minutes at the start of every day), asking God's help in remaining pure and faithful to Him. He will not refuse your request
